No

[Shaun]

When you're so used to the CL that you're not actually sure how the europa works :(

[Drew.]

Thanks for inviting us to the thread

[Brother Leon]

Who's ready for some Super Cup action next week then?

[Nicky91]

perched for a upset by Osijek eliminating PSV :fc:

[Locke.]

Celtic make it through to the play offs round after a 1-0 win in Rosenborg :clap1:

[Calderyon]

It´s going to be between Real Madrid or Barcelona again.

[Novo]

Celtic make it through to the play offs round after a 1-0 win in Rosenborg :clap1:

Brenda getting them to the group stages and all the players getting worn out, meanwhile Dorrans and Kranjcar are firing us 15 points clear, Pedro's master plan getting them to fight on two fonts and being destroyed like Grey worm the other night

[Locke.]

No pace at all in this Everton side, not a whole lot of quality either. They'll surely make it through the rest of this game but they'll be finishing lower down in the league than they did last season.

[Drew.]

Surprised how bad Everton have looked over these 2 games, they seriously need Bolasie fit again

[Denver]

What happens when you throw **** loads at average players

[Novo]

You would think they were about to be knocked out the way you lot are going on

[Locke.]

Might as well be, struggling to create chances against the third best team in Slovakia

[Brother Leon]

Liverpool to be knocked out in the qualifying stage. Good stuff.

[Brother Leon]

Super Cup tonight. See you there fellas.

[Denver]

Woop Woop

[Denver]

Tie is over now

[Crimson Dynamo]

WTAF is this Celtic game at the mo?

mental

They were 4-1 down a minute ago and now its 4-3 (4-8)

[Nicky91]

now Ajax hopefully losing with 10-0 in Rosenborg :fc:

[Locke.]

The big one tonight

[Shaun]

best of luck purdy x

[Denver]

So yea game over and could become a 6 or 7 nil win

[Denver]

Fantastic win but disappointing to concede

[Shaun]

Fantastic win but disappointing to concede

I'm sure you'll get over it :crazy:

[Locke.]

Absolutely ruthless going forward which got the job done. The Mane-Firmino-Salah combination really burst into life tonight after brief glimpses in the opening games. Some very sloppy defending in the first half after the 3 goals but we defended well as a team in the second half, but could have done better to prevent the goal still.

Think we're a creative player in that middle 3 (Phil) and a dominant CB (Virgil) away from achieving something great this season. Just hope we can get both those sorted by the end of the month.

[Locke.]

Draw is at 4.30pm tomorrow live on BT, think the Champions League website will stream it as well.

[Babayaro.]

Watch Qarabag beat us

[Crimson Dynamo]

Actually a good all around draw apart from Spurs

Great for Man U

[Babayaro.]

What a draw for the Tims

2 huge games and one they can win

I was wanting Barcelona lmao. Alway guaranteed an exciting game.

[Shaun]

United getting a piss easy group as per :inamood:

[Babayaro.]

Jammy bastards United as per usual smh

[Crimson Dynamo]

I was wanting Barcelona lmao. Alway guaranteed an exciting game.

The PSG game will be epic

[Babayaro.]

Neymar will take the piss

[Drew.]

Pretty good draw all round, should be some really good matches. As annoying as it is not to be involved this year it's low key relieving not to be drawn against teams that completely dick us year after year.. RIP Spurs.

[Locke.]

Very happy with our draw. Confident we'll take 9 points at Anfield, and more than enough for us to go and get 4 points away. On paper you'd say Spurs are the only English club that shouldn't make it through.

[Alf]

What an effing goal! by Siggi.

Pick that one out the onion bag.



l_bau9Fyjxs

[Drew.]

Here we go then, the proper European cup draw about to take place

[Drew.]

HUGE GAMES

Arsenal
FC BATE Borisov
FC Köln
Red Star Belgrade

Lyon
Everton
Atalanta
Apollon Limassol

[Nicky91]

Feyenoord - Manchester City, my prediction: 0-7

[Denver]

Liverpool ain't getting out of this group that is for sure

[Black Dagger]

Sterling scoring. Imagine my shock.

[Shaun]

RIP Tottenham

:oh:

[Locke.]

Liverpool ain't getting out of this group that is for sure

Yes we are. Just not in 1st.

[GiRTh]

Great win for Celtic

[Ross.]

Incredible win for Celtic :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

England starting to slowly regain power in Europe again :clap1:

[GiRTh]

Good win against poor opposition - you know the opposition aren't saying much when Arsenal are scoring goals from corners. I had forgotten how Good Jack Wilshire was. Totally showed what we miss in midfield and simply do not have in Xhaka. He looked tired after about 70 minutes but was still easy man of the match. They gifted us two goals, a dodgy penalty and we had a good goal disallowed yet still came under a bit of pressure at the end. Typical Arsenal.

[Calderyon]

PSG is looking quite formidable at the moment. Could see them in the final with Real Madrid at the moment.

Also all of the English teams except Liverpool are looking like legitimate threats for the time being.

[Alf]

Jack Wilshire starting to get his mojo back again, long may it continue, It'll be an asset to have a good Wilshire in contention for a World cup spot.

As for Everton, I'm really worried for us, I don't think Koeman will last long, he's made big mistakes in the transfer market, we're really lacking any pace in the team and we look bang average. We're seriously in trouble of getting relegated if things ain't sorted out.

[Locke.]

Get an early goal tonight and run riot then smash Spurs at the weekend like we always do, the season begins tonight Adam I hope you've got the popcorn in

[Denver]

Well we'll well

[Denver]

No team English team has ever won by that much away from home in Europe

[Shaun]

Seems that old "the Premier League isn't good enough for Europe" chestnut is being crushed this season

[Denver]

Everton showing how scummy they are

[Brother Leon]

Seems that old "the Premier League isn't good enough for Europe" chestnut is being crushed this season

Probably going to be 5 teams in the next round. I imagine none will be in the semi finals though. Shows that there are slot of good teams in the league, but no truly great one.

[Calderyon]

No huge surprises on Tuesday, except a few odd ties.

On Wednesday though, what a win for Tottenham over a multi time CL champion Real Madrid. Very impressive. :clap:

[Denver]

Surely this isnt Liverpool im watching?

[Drew.]

Surely this isnt Liverpool im watching?

OH IT IS!!!!!!!

[GiRTh]

OH IT IS!!!!!!!:hehe:

[MTVN]

:joker:

[Denver]

That is the reason I look should be sacked

[Locke.]

Oh Alberto you absolute fool. I knew something big was coming from him after those 2 misplaced headers that almost cost us either side of half time.

Group is still ours anyway, but would have been nice to be able to rest players in a couple of weeks.

[Locke.]

Good old Basel

[Calderyon]

Phenomenal win for Basel, it´s nice to see them do great. Man Utd wasted so many chances it´s unbelievable.

PSG just continuing their crushing progress, just incredible. 24-1 goals difference in just 5 games is unbelievable on a group that has Bayern München in it. It´s safe to say that PSG will reach at least the semifinal stage, a win is also very probable.

[Calderyon]

On tuesday, Tottenham just doing great at the moment and will be very hard to beat at the quarters by anyone.

Liverpool giving up a 3 goal lead and still leading the group. :think:

Clearly the weakest of the English teams. Of GB teams Celtic is the weakest in this UCL. Although being in the same group against Bayern and PSG can´t be easy.

[Shaun]

finish top of the group even after a loss :joker: what the hell is this competition

We have a much more difficult group than Utd and Chelsea and are top of it. Have some bloody respect

[Calderyon]

Maribor is crap, Spartak is mediocre at best and Sevilla is quite good. Considering Liverpool´s material, they should be whipping these teams up. Instead they are just barely in the lead of the group.

[Calderyon]

Also Real Madrid seem to be back on track with that 6-0 away win. Even if it was against APOEL of all teams.

[Locke.]

Maribor is crap, Spartak is mediocre at best and Sevilla is quite good. Considering Liverpool´s material, they should be whipping these teams up. Instead they are just barely in the lead of the group.

We beat Maribor 10-0 over both games, will beat Spartak in a couple of weeks and drew with 'quite good' Sevilla twice. Nothing else that can be done am afraid

[Calderyon]

An English Championship Team could beat Maribor quite easily.

Point is it shouldn´t be a difficult group for Liverpool really. But then again Liverpool hasn´t been good since Hyypia and co were still playing.

[Locke.]

That's not true though is it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/29362929

And we've come closer to the winning the title twice since Hyypia left than we did when he was here.

[Calderyon]

Coming close to winning the title and actually winning the title are two different things though. After 1st place/winner all others are basically losers.

[Denver]

Finally we are playing like we should

[Denver]

Let's make it 8

[Locke.]

Best attacking team in world football, give us Madrid in the last 16

Happy Arsenal have a team I've never heard of.

Real Madrid v PSG :shocked:

Was seeing this as the final tbh.

We nearly signed Ben Yedder a couple of years ago. He could have had four in about ten minutes. Man U going out.

[michael21]

Man u are out loseing 2-1

[Cherie]

:oh:

[GiRTh]

Second best team in EPL turned over by the team currently fifth in La Liga.

[Brother Leon]

Saw it coming all the way. Made £50 from it at least.


Truly pathetic from the team and Manager though. Outclassed over two legs by a much better side with all that money spent..

I tried to tell you Sanchez has been crap for a year :oh:

I tried to tell you Sanchez has been crap for a year :oh:Yep and now it will be dawning on him that he wont win anything at Man U that he hasn't already won with Arsenal. They seemed so pleased to get him too.

Great goal from Ox

[GiRTh]

WTF Liverpool are all over City. They're gonna have to play out of their minds to get back from this.

[Crimson Dynamo]

haha @ citeh

[Cherie]

Liverpool :clap1:

[Denver]

I reckon all Liverpool need is 1 away goal and they are through

[GiRTh]

Looks like City are out and there's gonna be controversy. Sane's goal should have stood. Thats not offside, it came off Milner.

[Black Dagger]

Screwed by referees in both legs but whatever.

[James]

Barcelona out. :shocked:

[Cherie]

The Roma v Barca game was brilliant :love:

Well done Liverpool

[Denver]

Man City are not ready for Liverpool /Asuka

[Mystic Mock]

Screwed by referees in both legs but whatever.

No offence to anyone on what I'm about to say here, but mainland European Referees are gonna favour Liverpool over Man City because in terms of both teams history Liverpool have been the much bigger side with winning over 30 first division trophies and is it 4 European Cups? Where as Man City are a small club really by the Champions League standards and therefore will have no pull with the Referees on decisions.

Well done to Liverpool though they've been great to watch this season, and I really like Klopp as a Manager.

[GiRTh]

This Real V Juventus game is the best so far. Come on Juve!!!!!!

[Denver]

Imagine both Spanish teams being the certs for the semis and both being knocked out after having 3 goal leads overturned

[GiRTh]

:dance:

3 - 3

Imagine both Spanish teams being the certs for the semis and both being knocked out after having 3 goal leads overturned:thumbs:

Ah that was disappointing

Amazing scenes. Don't like Madrid but was definitely a pen imo

Buffon :(

[Denver]

Screwed by referees in both legs but whatever.

How can you say this when they slowed your goalkeeper to stay on the pitch? And all the diving your team did

[Mystic Mock]

Well done to Real Madrid, I do feel that Zidane is a bad Manager though and made that game alot harder than it needed to be.

[Denver]

Harry Kane has claimed Ronaldo's penalty

[Cherie]

Harry Kane has claimed Ronaldo's penalty

this is nearly worse than John Terry :laugh:

[GiRTh]

If CSKA score another they're thru on away goals. Trust Arsenal :laugh:

[GiRTh]

Never in doubt

[michael21]

Harry Kane has claimed Ronaldo's penalty

:fist:

[Mystic Mock]

If CSKA score another they're thru on away goals. Trust Arsenal :laugh:

Arsenal did very well as I thought that CSKA had the chance to "Iceland" Arsenal with shockingly knocking Arsenal out.

[Denver]

Bye Bye Arsenal

[GiRTh]

WTF is up with Mane. Liverpool should be 2 up at least. I hope the two he just missed dont come back to haunt them

[MTVN]

Christ the Scousers are going to be unbearable

[Brother Leon]

Remember when everyone in the idiot Media shat on Jose for only getting draws at Anfield?

Sometimes I wonder if managers even see how he approaches the matches against Klopp/Liverpool.

[Alf]

Christ the Scousers are going to be unbearableThe Red side always have been!

[Alf]

I remember the days when these games used to be free for all of us to watch on ITV. Still would be if people didn't pay to watch.

I'm so proud

[Denver]

4-0 woop

[Alf]

4-0 woopQuite similar to what happened to Roma in the last round, just need an away goal now.

[Denver]

5-0

[Alf]

Come on Roma, it's a semi-final. Where's your pride?

[GiRTh]

Dont think the away goal will save Roma TBH

[GiRTh]

Then again a second away goal. So if its 4 1 in Rome who goes thru?

[MTVN]

Then again a second away goal. So if its 4 1 in Rome who goes thru?

Roma

[MTVN]

Imagine if Liverpool actually **** it up from 5-0 up, be the biggest choke in history

[Alf]

It was my pep talk that did it

[MTVN]

Or since Gerrard slipped anyway

[Denver]

This us why Milner shouldn't play

[James]

Why don't I have BT Sport so I can watch this?

[Denver]

Salah should never have gone off

[Denver]

I still expect us to go through

[Brother Leon]

**** me. I don’t trust Bayern at all in the Final. Real really needs to win that tie.

[GiRTh]

OMG what a goal Real Madrid have scored.

[Denver]

There really is no better time to be a Liverpool fan?

[Crimson Dynamo]

There really is no better time to be a Liverpool fan?

and madrid are there for the taking

[Denver]

Madrid defence is much worse then ours so if our front 3 are in form on the day then we should destroy them

[MTVN]

Roma are woeful sadly, this Liverpool team is nothing special but carves them open so easily

[Denver]

This is the same team that has beaten the so called worlds best team 3 times in 4 months

[AnnieK]

What a game......lucky the time ran out for Roma...could have pulled it back

[michael21]

Liverpool in the final I will make money betting on the final

[MTVN]

Roma played well second half but left themselves with too much to do, awful for 60 minutes in the first game and pretty crap for today's first half

[Brother Leon]

Ronaldo v Salah.

Winner wins Ballon D’Or pretty much.

[Black Dagger]

What a grim final.

[Denver]

I'm disappointed that having made the game safe we dropped back and allowed them to get back in the tie

[GiRTh]

Well done to Liverpool. The best front three in Europe.

[bots]

I am as far from a liverpool fan as is possible to be, but I will be supporting them against Real Madrid :laugh:

[GiRTh]

Utter sh*te. Cant wait for the new manager. I dont even care if he does well, I'm sick of our style of play. Once again there was no drive, no urgency, just knock the ball about and see what happens.

[James]

Athletico Madrid win the Europa League.

[Denver]

Today's the day Salah wins Balon D'Or

[Vladimir]

I'm way more excited for the Aston Villa vs Fulham play-off than the CL final. Really dislike both of the finalists but it should be an interesting game with many goals.

[Mystic Mock]

I'm way more excited for the Aston Villa vs Fulham play-off than the CL final. Really dislike both of the finalists but it should be an interesting game with many goals.

I'm more excited for the play-off final too.

In this Champions League game though I do like Real Madrid more out of the two teams, but the two good things about Liverpool winning are that it's good for British Football to have a British team win the biggest tournament in Club Football, and more importantly for me would be that we have a different Champions League winner as Real Madrid have won the last 3 or 4 Champions Leagues haven't they?

[MTVN]

We are all Madrid tonight

[Denver]

Bitter fans

No matter what team you support you should always support a home nation

[Denver]

Liverpool will win my heart says so

[Black Dagger]

Bitter fans

No matter what team you support you should always support a home nation

**** that. Wouldn't ever get me supporting United in a final of anything.

From the way he was holding the shoulder it doesn't look like a dislocation.

[Denver]

Ramos was smiling over the fact he hurt Salah

Scummy ****

[Denver]

He w he can let the team perform like this

[Denver]

Half of these players should have their contracts ripped up

[GiRTh]

it just twanged off his hand :joker:How can a keeper that sh&te be playing in the ECL final. Liverpool have embarrassed themselves TBH

[Denver]

Liverpool have been terrible but Madrid has a 12th player

[GiRTh]

After Salah went off I dont think Liverpool were in it after that. Kinda shows the Semi against City was a bit of a fluke. City would have given RM a much better game tonight and I think might have beaten them.

[Denver]

The only problem is they will replace Marius with Butland

yep, liverpool have been lucky to get as far without too many injuries. When they do get an injury, they don't have the depth of squad to cope.

[Denver]

Liverpool needs to go spend 500 million they have the money to do so

[GiRTh]

Agree BOTS LIverpool massively over achieved getting to this final and the better, no far better, team wonm

[Denver]

Real Madrid got luck but they shouldn't have been in the final nobody can say they should

[Vladimir]

Liverpool have been terrible but Madrid has a 12th player

Karius?


Bale :clap1: Two stunning goals :clap1:

[AnnieK]

World class goal from Bale and a howler from the liverpool keeper. Enjoyable second half
